Mindfulness to me is many things, you can be mindful about yourself and other people in the world. Some small gestures like helping the elderly, holding doors open for your friends and colleagues, clean up after your workspace are all mindfulness things in society.

But then there is self care mindfulness. Keeping your room tidy, self care, tips and tricks to help with anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Practicing mindfulness can help you personally and if it can help you personally it can help you in society. No matter what you're practicing it for

Mindfulness is important because it affects the way we can think and approach life. We can be more gentle to society, to nature and to ourselves. A lot of us deal with unwanted, unneeded and over stressful things so to be able to recenter your thoughts, emotions and feelings to a move positive way through mental or physical mindfulness can become very rewarding in a positive way to yourself and too others around you. Society and nature alike.

Breathing Exercises

Following breathing exercises with your attention on your own breathing can help ground yourself and recenter your mind and thoughts. Focus on how your stomach raises and falls with each breath, keep your eyes closed. Breathe in for 8 seconds and release slowly for 8 seconds. In through the nose and out through the mouth. You can concentrate on what you hear and feel, letting the mind relax

Glitter Jar

This is more a sensory grounding. But is very popular. Following instructions you can find online you can sit and focus with visual mindfulness, it can help those who feel detached and disassociated get back to reality. You can shine it in the light and watch how it glimmers. The idea is that you shake the jar and then watch and focus on the glitter as it falls and settles on the bottom, pulling the mind from other things and it looks really cool.

A lot of people like to write when they are upset or are disconnected from others. It's a positive outlet. You can journal about anything you want, the best thing to write about are the positive things in your day no matter how small or insignificant they may seem to you. You can always write self positive things and read back on them when you are feeling down.

The tense and relax exercise

This one I have done personally. Lay flat on your back and close your eyes, keep everything relaxed for a moment. Take a deep breath and be comfortable. First you start at your toes and feet, tense the muscle for 5 seconds and relax again. Complete this going up your body. Your calves, thighs, hips, stomach, arms, back, shoulders, neck, jaw, etc. This helps the body relax after a stressful day or situations. I did it after martial arts and it really did help recenter and relax after a session.
